Pazuzu
As shown with Geryon in the Divine Comedy, Pazuzu's form is not exactly unique among demons, and in many way, Geryon fits DMC3 Beowulf's form and role much more closely. I am completely unable to find any claims that Beowulf was based on Pazuzu outside of random forum posts - nothing from the authors and directors, nothing official. On the "Geryon basis" side, we have


 * Also explains DMC3 Geryon's non-sequitor appearance
 * Appears in the Divine Comedy, the work the series is based on, instead of a random piece of mythology
 * Serves same basic role
 * Vergil killing the beast while it seeks to kill Dante would be a clear reinterpretation of the scene in the Divine Comedy
 * Would explain why Beowulf has a much more draconic body than Pazuzu does.

On "Pazuzu basis"?
 * Explains the head horn and double wings, which Geryon isn't said to have, but not the dragon body.

Until someone can come up with an actual quote from the development team that "Beowulf was designed based on Pazuzu", there is basically no way that we're going to outright claim that he's based on Pazuzu. Honestly, it's pushing it to mention Pazuzu at all, since we don't do that with any other characters on this wiki. Glorious  CHAOS!  18:33, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
